Operation Dispatch

Operation Dispatch was the code-name given to the assassination of Strategic Defense Coalition Chairman Tian Zhao during the Second Cold War. Carried out by a JSOC Strike Force, the hit led to peace between the SDC and United States as their aggressive leader was killed.

Background
Strategic Defense Coalition Chairman Tian Zhao juiced his men to invade Russia, and China lost control and asked for help, fearing that Tian Zhao would create a new world war. American President Marion Bosworth called Admiral Thomas Briggs to kill Zhao; it would deal a blow to Raul Menendez's plan to start an all out war between the United States and SDC. Zhao would fly over Peshawar, so the JSOC had to shoot his VTOL down and then eliminate him.

Battle
The JSOC forces were landed on the ground by helicopter, and three of them, equipped with SMAWs, shot down three VTOLs flying over the city. Zhao's VTOL crashed, and Commander David Mason ordered his men to make sure that he was KIA. But he activated emergency protocols, sealing himself in the crashed VTOL, so the JSOC team would have to hack the system, open the door, and kill him, after eradicating the presence of SDC troops and robots. The Americans executed the operation by the book, fighting past machien turrets, ASDs, and infantrymen. A network intruder planted was destroyed, so Pvt. Pearce planted a new intruder and defended it until it cracked open the system. It disengaged the system and Zhao was assassinated, and the Americans were extracted after taking a picture to verify the kill.
